Abstract Natural resources, namely land and water, as the main input factors for food production have undergone degradation in quantity and quality. On the other hand, demand for food has been growing due to population increase, which requires to intensify the use of natural resources that may harm environment. One of the solutions to this problem is by managing household food consumption pattern. This study aimed to analyze current and eco-friendly household consumption behavior in Indonesia to overcome the above problem. A technical review was conducted to various nationally representative publications, mainly from Statistics Indonesia, Indonesian Ministry of Health and Ministry of Agriculture. Results of this study indicated that in 2020 the Indonesian average daily energy and protein intake has met the recommendation. However, based on Desirable Dietary Pattern score, food consumption pattern was not balanced, dominated by cereals as carbohydrate food sources, while consumption of tubers, legumes, animal protein sources, vegetables, and fruits were still inadequate. Among high income households, consumption of animal products exceeded the recommendation whereas production of this food requires the highest environmental resources. Meanwhile, a large proportion of food waste are produced by household, mostly in the form of vegetables and fruits. Driving factors of household food selection were mainly based on social, economic, and cultural aspects rather than environmental consideration. Therefore, to reduce environmental damage, environmentally friendly food consumption behavior should be promoted. Government together with nutritionist and agronomists should create a grand design of food system which balances productivity, sustainability, and community nutrition fulfillment.

Abstract This study aims to analyze food consumption patterns, the hope food patterns, and the factors that influence household food consumption patterns. The research was located in Suli and Liang Villages, Central Maluku Regency. The location was determined purposively based on the 2017 Central Maluku Regency Food Security and Vulnerability Atlas (FSVA) results included in Priority 1 and 2 as Food Vulnerable Areas. The research sample was determined by simple random sampling using the Slovin formula with a total sample size of 87 households, 44 (Suli Village) and 43 (Liang Village). The research data were analyzed qualitatively and quantitatively. The results showed that the pattern of household food consumption in the two villages was lower than the ideal weight of food consumption, namely 870 g/capita/day, respectively 783.83 (Liang Village) and 709.81 (Suli Village). The score of the hope food pattern in Liang Village is 75, and Suli Village is 76.9. Analysis of the factors that influence household food consumption patterns in the two villages with a coefficient of determination of 51.56 (Liang Village) and 59.19 (Suli Village).

The aim of the paper is to identify changes in the food consumption of urban and rural households in Poland when it comes to sustainable consumption as well as evaluate if such changes are becoming more or less sustainable. Sustainable consumption is an element of sustainable development, which responds to the basic needs of people while not jeopardizing the needs of future generations. More sustainable food consumption is perceived to be a reduction of overconsumption, a decrease in the consumption of highly processed food and a shift in diet based less on animals and more on plants. The paper is mainly based on data from the Polish Central Statistical Office concerning meat, fruit and vegetable consumption. Some data about food waste were also used. The research shows that the food consumption pattern in rural households is less sustainable than in urban ones. Households living in rural areas consume more meat and less fruit and vegetables than urban ones. There is some evidence that the food consumption pattern in Poland is shifting towards a less sustainable one.
